I know that we all have an idea or two on potential nominees. How would we score it? Or is this one of those questions when you need to ask, you qualify?

I apologize if I've offended anyone. When you're constantly harassed, belittled, called names and threatened, it will cause damage after awhile. Everyone has their breaking point. It's very hard to be civil around very rude people who doesn't understand that the world doesn't revolve around them. I plan on voting yes on amendment 64, but if I chose to vote another way, that would not make me an person. It also doesn't make me a "stoner, pothead. drug addict, etc" for deciding to vote yes on this amendment or for telling a few pot jokes, doing a little online research, and playing a few songs. I personally think that marijuana should have been legalized years ago. I'm an independent voter. I don't like being intimidated, lied about. discriminated against, and ridiculed just because of my opinions, politics, undenominated religion (whatever). We're all not far right or far left. I don't feel as though I have to follow the status quo on either extreme. Extremism like that is destroying the middle class. Last I checked, America is still a free country. We can even dance if we want to...lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvCE1pPbXUo

Assumptions makes an A out of you more than it does me. I am a Colorado native. I vote.

Wow!!! You have 37 badges and only one post. I'm not sure how you did that, but you must be an amazing photographer. Yes you've won bragging rights. Congrats!

How do these badges benefit me? Why should I care? What is the point? What "reward" do I get as a result of winning a badge? Where is the badge? What prestige, exactly, accrues to me for having this badge?

The purpose of this badge has not been explained, so it seems like random nothing that I should not waste my time with, and I cannot see why the Post wastes its time dreaming up such an empty scheme.

Always question authority. I'm not your pawn or your sock puppet. I am a law abiding tax paying citizen. I am neither a neo conservative or an uber liberal. I am an independent voter. If you piss me off, you won't get my vote.

Could I have some more prizes/badges?How about a "Smarmy" badge to add to my collection?

Boy I hope no one gives me a thumb's down, that would just crush me.

I spit on your smarmy badge as I polish my golden snarky badge.

I want a "Smarmy" and a "Snarky" badge.

The badges are virtual. In some minds you may have already been awarded the badges. I have no doubt that I have also been awarded some virtual badges as well. It may be better that I do not know what those badges are though.
